You could try a seating position which reduces the weight on that area, by tilting the seat back a bit and raising the front of the seat swab so as to support the underside of the thighs more. If you are tall consider also adjusting the seat base forward. Vogue seats are a bit firmer than SE/AB as they don't have semi-aniline leather, but they should still be comfortable on long journeys if the seat is set up right for you.

In most cars the seats need a bit of lumbar but in this one I’ve got it wound right back. I found moving it to the lowest position and then fully back stopped me feeling it in the lower seat back. As has been said, try changing the seat tilt and backrest angle. Part of the problem is there is so much adjustment, it’s easy to get it not quite right. MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid

Then you get it just right, forget to save the setting then the long haired general flounces in, changes it about and your back to square 1. |

I’ve got memory 1 and 2 set up for me, just in case someone changes it…..but it’s more for when it’s in the dealership as we’ve had memory seats on both bars for long enough for there not to be any overwriting! MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid

I’ve done some pretty epic long journeys and no bum pain from the fatty. I’d fiddle with the base seat angle and such. Or get a new coccyx. Land Rover probably sell them branded for double. L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso |

Hi. I have found that if I have the seat swab adjusted to far forwards it exposes part of the seat base structure between the base and seat back and you end up sitting on it.

As above. I found the same, but adjusting the seat base rearwards (despite being 6ft2) has helped hugely with numb-bum! |

I can last about an hour and half then my rear becomes numb. Oddly, never had this issue in the 322 I owned. |

I just returned from a 2000 mile European road trip, with in-car hours extended by insane Eurotunnel waiting times, and I can safely say my derrière was the least of my worries. Positively pampered, really. Here it is in action in Zurich. I cannot, however, recommend my dietician.

for me, tilting the seat base back made a big difference. It pushes nicely on my thighs with less pressure on lower back. |

I got rid of my 2016/66 Autobiography solely because I found the seats very uncomfortable on long journeys.
